ٌWell, as others noted, bitmap is not a registered trademark, so it is 
translateable. Bitnaghsh was my idea, and it was used, simply because no 
better translation was suggested at the time. Now bitnegash sounds fine, but 
doe we really need to change it? I mean what is the different between 
bitnaghsh and bit negasht?

As for cache, I liked 'zaghe' (it sounded hackish) but I can see that there is 
a problem when it is used as verb. So Arash Z's suggesiton to use kashe 
should be fine. 

And I also don't think we should translate bit. dogoone is not bad, but it is 
LONG. Do you know why they started using 'bit' instead of 'binary digit' ? 
because binary digit was long, and bit was short, and cute. petit, you can 
say. dogoone is not petit, so I don't like it.
